Why you can not be perfect?

Everybody wants to be perfect in everything s/he does, is it not true? Though majority of us are far from perfect, yet great personalities have always advocated that it is possible to achieve it and can be obtained within this lifetime.

Still, we remain skeptic of this idea of achieving perfection. Is it merely a conceptual idea, an abstract concept that can not really be achieved in concrete terms? Or is it an absolute fact which can be achieved within our lifetime, in this very world.

We know success in any competition reflects the highest caliber of skill in any field. Provided all potential abilities being in equal measures, it boils down to time and effort spent on training, motivation and determination to succeed. This finally leads one to perfection. That explains the saying – “Practice makes perfect”.

But in this materialistic world, everyone one of us appears to have conditioned free will. Our potential to excel is limited by level of academic intelligence, emotional temperament, motivation to succeed, life chances, selective environment and personality types. Some appears to be born to succeed while some to fail.

We appear to be in the middle of chess game where our moves are limited. In fact, we appear to be a puppet in hand of destiny whose threads are being controlled by the Superpower. We can obtain perfection when He wills it. The statement that “Thy Will be done” appears to be true. Thus concept of perfection in this materialistic world is untrue as this is a transitory place where everything is transient and is bound to change. This world appears to be designed as imperfect and thus we have to increase our reference level to achieve perfection. How it can be done? Well, by transforming our level from materialistic to spiritual one.

In the spiritual sense, perfection is attained when our real self completely eliminates our worldly egoistic covering, becomes aware of the existence of Supreme power, and ultimately merges in the ocean of Love and becomes one with the God. Then, and only then, can anyone be called perfect. The obstacles that we need to overcome are very basic – that is controlling our impulsive mind for delayed gratification of goal of perfection, shedding of our filthy and dross covering of inflated ego wrapped over our mind, becoming clean and pure hearted and full of compassion for everyone and loving God and His creation. If we remain steadfast in our endeavor, with dedication and commitment, we will sooner or later achieve perfection.

If we practice, practice and more practice, we will soon realize that we too can become perfect in true sense of the word. We will realize that nothing is impossible for the true seeker.
